UI Development/UI Architecture/Component Development Workflow

Component Review Process

Self-review, peer review, and QA testing procedures to ensure UI component quality.

Component Review Process

Overview

The review process ensures components meet quality standards before deployment. Through systematic reviews at multiple levels, we maintain high code quality and catch issues early.

Quality Gates

The review process acts as quality gates, ensuring components are production-ready before deployment. Each review level catches different types of issues, from code quality to user experience problems.

Purpose & Scope

  • Comprehensive self-review techniques
  • Peer review best practices
  • QA testing procedures
  • Review documentation templates

Step 1: Self Review

Before submitting for review, complete a thorough self-review:

Self Review Checklist

A comprehensive self-review catches issues early and saves time during peer review. Use this checklist to ensure your component is ready:

Code Quality

  • Component follows our architecture rules
  • All props have proper TypeScript types
  • JSDoc comments are comprehensive and accurate
  • No hardcoded values - all styling uses design tokens
  • Performance optimizations applied (React.memo, useMemo)
  • Error boundaries and error handling implemented

Functionality

  • All required functionality implemented
  • Edge cases handled appropriately
  • Loading and error states work correctly
  • Component handles all prop combinations
  • Default values work as expected

Testing

  • All tests pass
  • Test coverage meets requirements (80%+)
  • Accessibility tests included
  • Visual regression tests added
  • Integration tests work

Documentation

  • Component props documented with examples
  • Usage examples provided
  • Integration patterns documented
  • Migration notes added if applicable

Step 2: Peer Review

Submit component for peer review with clear context:

Step 3: QA Review

Components undergo QA testing across devices and scenarios:

QA Testing Checklist

Cross-Platform Testing

  • iOS device testing (iPhone SE, iPhone 14 Pro, iPad)
  • Android device testing (Small, Medium, Large screens)
  • Web browser testing (if applicable)

Visual Testing

  • Dark/light theme switching
  • RTL language support
  • Different text sizes
  • Font scaling
  • Color contrast meets WCAG

Interaction Testing

  • Touch/click interactions
  • Swipe/drag gestures
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Screen reader functionality

Performance Testing

  • Load time < 100ms
  • Smooth animations (60fps)
  • No jank on interaction
  • No memory leaks

Integration Testing

  • Works within features
  • Integrates with navigation
  • State management integration
  • API integration (business components)
  • Theme switching works

Next Steps

After completing the review process:

  1. Proceed with Component Deployment & Integration
  2. Prepare for feature integration
  3. Document any learnings from the review process

Testing Strategies

Write unit tests, visual tests, accessibility tests, and integration tests for your components.

Component Deployment & Integration

Completing documentation, integrating into features, and deploying UI components into production.
